Nariño is undoubtedly the gateway from the Andean universe to the rest of Colombia; it is here that the Inca Trail—Qhapac Ñan—begins, which connected these territories to the Inca Empire or Tahuantinsuyo. Through the mountain junction known as the "Nudo de los Pastos," trade, arts, culinary traditions, customs, and ultimately all the elements that nourish the country's rich multicultural variety have permeated the region. Today, the Pan-American Highway serves as the immediate mobility link for thousands of people traveling to and from South America, carrying their productive, emotional, or recreational interests across a territory clearly integrated by a shared landscape in all its dimensions. The city of Pasto is a fascinating and essential stop along this route.

Archstorming’s new competition takes us to Mozambique, a country marked by a great number of long-lasting challenges. Although there has been a substantive increase in the household income, over two-thirds of the population still live below the poverty line.
This Sub-Saharan Africa country is ranked 139th out of 159 countries on the UNDP’s Gender Inequality Index. Women are exposed to threats of diseases, discrimination and violence.
Around 94% of girls in Mozambique enroll in primary school, but despite this high number, only 11% of girls continue to study in secondary schools. As girls grow older, they are met by an increasing domestic workload and more responsibilities. Many girls have no choice but to stay at home to do chores or work to help their families. Teen pregnancies prove to be a major reason for girls dropping out of school early. 30 to 40 percent of girls are pregnant before they turn 18 years old. Taking care of a child, working and performing household chores can be overbearing and leave these girls no time for school.

studio-based intensive design workshops

The intention of the Kurula Varkey Design Forum has been to curate discussions centered around the thoughts of students and young graduates. It has constantly tried to bring the agency which students hold, to forefront; to provide a platform for students to display their opinions to the profession they’ll be entering soon. Writing becomes a tool to examine one’s own thoughts; at the same time it provides an important platform to express one’s voice to a larger community. Eager to provide a podium for contemplation and expression in the field of architecture, we’re pleased to announce ‘KVDF Writing Competition 2022’, for students of architecture, planning, design, and other associated fields to put down their ideas and opinions through persuasive, inspiring, and influential writing.

One axonometric, one urban block, cero physical laws!

As spatial practitioners, we are often presented with uncomfortable relationships, forcing us to choose sides and make decisions. We are constantly challenged to rethink how we embrace the dynamics between architecture, and external forces.

“What's Next?“

Dock A, the largest dock of the Zurich Airport, was the subject of international competition. BIG forms the winning team as design lead with HOK as aviation architect, 10:8 architects, engineer Buro Happold, timber experts Pirmin Jung, and aviation consultant NACO. Their design proposal centers on passenger experience and movement through the airport. A pared-back material palette reveals the loadbearing system of the building: V-shaped timber columns provide both a structural function and a distinctive identity true to its place and era, according to the jury.

One of Lima's major deficits is the lack of public spaces designed for children to develop their psychomotor, intellectual, and social skills during their early years. Design focused on early childhood seeks to foster a more attentive perspective toward the needs of the city's most vulnerable users: children aged 0 to 5, their caregivers, and pregnant women.

TAC! Urban Architecture Festival will transform a Spanish city into a space for innovation and experimentation each year. This will be achieved through the construction of a temporary pavilion designed by emerging architects, selected via an open call.

URBANBATfest is a festival that acts as a laboratory—or a laboratory that evolves into a festival. It is a research process focused on urban transformations and an environment for learning, experimentation, and collective creation designed to drive urban innovation.

In this new edition of URBANBATfest, under the theme "No future," we are opening a space for reflection on the future of cities. We are examining the responsibility of architecture and urban planning within this context of multidimensional crisis, their complicity and forms of resistance, their possibilities and limitations, their tools and working methodologies, their relationship with other disciplines, their areas of intervention, their capacity to create new imaginaries, and how to cohabit the present and the future.
